OPEN PEER REVIEW LAUNCH

d.e.wittko...@gmail.com (D.E. Wittkower) — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 14:21:00 UT

If we all set a little time aside today or tomorrow, this should be very
successful. Please pitch in—just a few minutes help will make a big
difference.

*1. Please post to academic and political groups*
There's an announcement below, slightly improved and updated from the draft
sent previously. Please modify it however you wish and send it to

Looks good to me!

Draft call for reviewers: How does this look?

How do you think this looks? What do you think should be
added/changed/removed?
I'm going to write this up as a Facebook note, for easy sharing, and will
also write it as a readymade cut-and-paste announcement. It'll be posted
here and in the FB #OT group on Monday, and I'll be asking for your help in

I'll write something up this weekend about the open peer review
process, and will ask for your help on Tuesday with publicizing the

Submissions welcome now, or over the next few weeks

d.e.wittko...@gmail.com (D.E. Wittkower) — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 16:33:25 UT

We reached our formal submission deadline this week, and there are eight
submissions in so far. I've already spoken to a few of you and know that
there are more that are still in the works.

I'm writing now to let everyone know that the project will continue to
welcome submissions over the next few weeks. The first group will be

Thanks, D.E., for spreading the word.
I've just landed a press for my second collection in the last few days so I
am cautiously optimistic that we will find a publisher for this volume. I

Thanks for sending this, Todd. I posted it on the Occupy Thought facebook
page, and I'll be contacting some people here in Occupy Norfolk.

Best of luck with the project—I think your approach here is really
interesting.

BTW: have you talked with publishers about it? Do you have a
projected/intended publisher?

While we have been distributing the attached cfp (*From Wall Street to Main
Street: The Regional Politics of Occupying*) widely for the last few
months, it may not have been seen here. Please distribute and also
considering sending us a proposal. Any help at all would be appreciated. The

Communications: Sending out the CFP

d.e.wittko...@gmail.com (D.E.) — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:47:09 UT

Communications in academia are so separated out from one another! If
you have time this week, please send out the CFP to wherever you get
news of this sort from, and let us know where it's been sent!

I've sent the CFP out to:

fa.philos-l

Sometime today, I plan to post the Facebook CFP note on the Facebook

Here's the short version:

Call for Papers and Collaborators: #OccupyThought
theoretical writing concerned with the #OWS movement.
Word count is expected to vary widely, in accordance with the kind of
writing submitted, but should be more than 1500 words and less than
8000. Writing from any disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspective

Call for Papers and Collaborators: #OccupyThought

d.e.wittko...@gmail.com (D.E.) — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 12:46:32 UT

Ok, here's the CFP! I'll start sending this out to my relevant
contacts, and post it to the listservs that I subscribe to. Please do
the same!
A shorter version will be posted separately—not everywhere will accept
such a long CFP.

Call for Papers and Collaborators: #OccupyThought
rather than a theorization of political action. We welcome scholars
